I had the same experience with trying to find a practice lobby. So things I have learned so far regarding chat and practice game UI:
1. There currently isn't an option (like in League of Legends) to keep chat channels open. You can get it to open on startup but you have to create and/or edit a config file to get that to happen. In addition, you can't just type the name of a chat channel to join (like LoL), but you instead have to scroll through the giant list with no search box and apparently no keyboard search shortcut option to find it.
2. Using 123 as a password for practice lobbies may be standard practice. I didn't know this and will have to try it!
3. Practice lobbies only show up 5 at a time or something like that, even if you filter by password. This seems pretty confusing to me since I don't know why I saw the ones I did, and then when I created my own no one joined (presumably because no one could see it).
4. When you create a practice game I think the name ends up blank by default and then you have to bring up an options dialog if you want to change it.
5. When you try to join some practice games where the host seems afk, there may already be a game in progress, someone told me? There might be a label in the upper left or lower left corner that explains this. I guess they let people join after they start so that you can fill the slots back up, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure whether the Ready button does anything, since nothing seems to change color etc.
6. I think someone said the host is the top left person in practice game player slots by default?
I haven't tried matchmaking to see how long it takes to find games, and people in the NA and NeoGAF chat channels seem to either be afk or in game. Is there any way to tell which people are ingame (or away, or in the process of creating a game, etc.)?
Hopefully there are plans to make improvements in these areas however. Maybe I should email Icefrog or whoever and suggest them, since I'm sure I'm the only one who has thought of them. ;p
Register and post your thoughts here: http://dev.dota2.com/. Will help them more than just emailing IceFrog.
Roger that, thanks for the link. I'll try to collect them into my other notes as well.

Ugh, every time I go there, curious about what the current big discussions are, I am reminded why I don't go there. THOSE PEOPLE. ];

tobi wan on the dota2 stream is saying the servers are bugging, might be related
Yes.
I heard. BTW, GG man. Sorry to ditch you, I didn't know what you were planning.
They all were.
Trixi was from Fnatic.MSI, Rexi is his good friend. WehSing/SingSing was from DM, while twisTa was from some other clan. DemenT is also a HoN player of ye olden days.
